40. As any man whatsoever knowing another's thing to be as such gives (it) up, so the (right) knower renounces all non-self-thought-activities knowing them to be non-self.
Commentary. So long as a person does not realize the distinction between his own and other's possessions, he might think as his own the things which really do not belong to him. But as soon as he knows the truth, he, as a right and honest man, gives up all attachment to them and remains content with what is his own. Similarly a rightbeliever, realizing the truth, understands fully that nothing except his own self with its own pure attributes belongs to him. He at once renounces all attachment to non-self and becomes content with and absorbed in his own self.
णत्थि मम को वि मोहो बुज्झदि उवोग एव अहमिको। तं मोह णिम्ममत्तं समयस्स वियाणया विति ॥४१॥ नास्ति मम कोपि मोहो बुध्यते उपयोग एवाहमेकः। तं मोहनिर्ममत्वं समयस्य विज्ञायकाः ब्रुवंति ॥४१॥
41. Delusion has no concern with me. I am only the attentive one. The knowers of pure soul call me as having no concern with delusion,
Commentary.
The author points out that not only riches, family, kingdom and other outer things, but even the thought-activities of delusion and attachment which are due to the operation of deluding-karma, do not appertain to the soul. A right-believer should always consider himself to be above any attachment, and centred in his own pure consciousness.
णत्थि मम धम्म आदी बुज्झदि उवओग एव अहमिको। तं धम्म णिम्ममत्तं समयस्स वियाणया विति॥४२॥ नास्ति मम धर्मादिर्बुध्यते उपयोग एवाहमेकः । तं धर्मनिर्ममत्वं समयस्य विज्ञायकाः अवंति ॥ ४२ ॥
